- Remarks:

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)
The first experiment was a direct plate assay. To obtain more information about the possible mutagenicity of the test item, a pre-incubation assay was performed as a second experiment.
DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 +/- 4 hours
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 (in both of two independent experiments)
METHODS OF SLIDE PREPARATION AND STAINING TECHNIQUE USED:
- Experiment 1: The following solutions were successively added to 3 mL molten top agar: 0.1 mL of a fresh bacterial culture (10^9 cells/mL) of one of the tester strains, 0.1 mL of a dilution of the test item in DMSO and either 0.5 mL S9-mix (in case of activation assays) or 0.5 mL 0.1 M phosphate buffer (in case of non-activation assays). The ingredients were mixed on a Vortex and the content of the top agar tube was poured onto a selective agar plate. After solidification of the top agar, the plates were inverted and incubated in the dark at 37.0 ± 1.0 °C.
- Experiment 2: The following solutions were pre-incubated for 30 minutes by 70 rpm at 37°C, either 0.5 ml S9-mix (in case of activation assays) or 0.5 ml 0.1 M phosphate buffer (in case of non-activation assays), 0.1 ml of a fresh bacterial culture (10^9 cells/ml) of one of the tester strains, 0.1 ml of a dilution of the test item in DMSO. After the pre-incubation period the solutions were added to 3 ml molten top agar. The ingredients were mixed on a Vortex and the content of the top agar tube was poured onto a selective agar plate. After solidification of the top agar, the plates were inverted and incubated in the dark at 37.0 ± 1.0°C
NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 10^9 cells/mL
CYTOTOXICITY:
- Cytotoxicity was examined by the reduction of the bacterial background lawn, the increase in the size of the microcolonies and the reduction of the revertant colonies
COLONY COUNTING:
The revertant colonies were counted automatically with the Sorcerer Colony Counter. Plates with sufficient test item precipitate to interfere with automated colony counting were counted manually. Evidence of test item precipitate on the plates and the condition of the bacterial background lawn were evaluated when considered necessary, macroscopically and/or microscopically by using a dissecting microscope. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test item is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in the tester strain TA100 or WP2uvrA is not greater than two (2) times the concurrent vehicle control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537 or TA98 is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent vehicle control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one follow-up experiment.
A test item is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in the tester strain TA100 or WP2uvrA is greater than two (2) times the concurrent vehicle control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 is greater than three (3) times the concurrent vehicle control.
b) In case a follow up experiment is performed when a positive response is observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one follow up experiment.
Acceptability criteria:
a) The vehicle control and positive control plates from each tester strain (with or without S9-mix) must exhibit a characteristic number of revertant colonies when compared against relevant historical control data generated at this test facility.
b) The selected dose-range should include a clearly toxic concentration or should exhibit limited solubility as demonstrated by the preliminary toxicity range-finding test or should extend to 5 mg/plate.
c) No more than 5% of the plates are lost through contamination or some other unforeseen event. If the results are considered invalid due to contamination, the experiment will be repeated.

- Additional information on results:
- - Precipitation: in the dose range finding test: at the start of the incubation period at concentrations of 512 and 1600 μg/plate and upwards in the absence and presence of S9-mix, respectively. At the end of the incubation period the test item precipitated on the plates at dose levels of 1600 and 5000 μg/plate, except in tester strain TA100 in the presence of S9-mix, where precipitation was only observed at 5000 μg/plate. In the first experiment: precipitation of the test item on the plates was observed at the start of the incubation period at concentrations of 512 μg/plate and upwards in the absence and of S9-mix and at 5000 μg/plate in the presence of S9-mix. At the end of the incubation period the test item precipitated on the plates at dose levels of 512 μg/plate and upwards. In the second experiment: precipitation of the test item on the plates was observed at the start of the incubation period at the top concentration of 1600 μg/plate in the absence of S9-mix only. At the end of the incubation period, the test item precipitated on the plates at dose levels of 512 and 1600 μg/plate in the absence of S9-mix and at 1600 μg/plate in the presence of S9-mix.
- Cytotoxicity: cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of revertants, was observed in both experiments in strain TA1537 at the highest tested doses (5000 μg/plate, with S9 in the direct plate assay and 1600 μg/plate, without S9 in the pre incubation assay). Cytotoxicity was not observed in any of the other strains, with and without S9 at any of the dose levels.
- Mutagenicity: no mutagenicity (an increase in the number of revertants) was observed in both experiments in any of the test strains at any of the dose levels, with and without S9.
